5 Ways To Reduce Coughing When Smoking Marijuana

Smoking cannabis is much better than smoking tobacco since cannabis is known to have countless medicinal values, but if it’s your first time to smoke it and you are coughing to the extreme, you need to take some precautions. According to some previous studies, chronic coughing which is usually accompanied with some wheezing occurs in about 25% of habitual smokers of cannabis. Here are five essential ways to make your smoking cannabis a pleasurable experience:

Take in Smaller Bits

If your lungs cannot sustain deep puffs at once, try to reduce the hits especially if you are new to smoking marijuana by taking smaller hits and relaxing in between. For those who have smaller lung capacity, start taking in small puffs to allow your lungs to adjust to the smoke.

Take Deep Breathes Down In The Lungs

In general, people who cough more tend to pause inhaling the fresh air. The accumulated smoke gets stuck in the throat thus causing a huge uncontrollable cough. Breathe in slowly and inhale air deeply into your lungs to avoid congesting your throat with smoke. Remember, smoking a joint is not like smoking a cigarette. The joint smoke is thicker and moves slowly than the cigars hence it requires deep inhales.

Avoid Smoking it, Eat It

Most people believe that smoking weed gets you a perfect high than other methods, this is a wrong assumption. Edibles also have THC that is ingested directly to the body system through the gastrointestinal tract. The process takes a few minutes but you get the results eventually. One benefit of taking edibles is that most of them are quite delicious.

Drink Lots of Water

If you know you are likely to cough when smoking weed, make sure to always have a glass of cool water with you to sip after a take. Staying hydrated helps you when you ingest too much smoke.

Use High-Quality Cannabis

Poor quality weed will not give you a smooth experience since it’s full of chemicals and pesticides that accelerate the coughs when smoking it. Get better quality cannabis that is good for your lungs.
